Alliance Objects
to Deportation
of Roy Norene
There are those in the United
States who do not want to see Roy
J. Norene, divisional director of immigration and naturalization, deported to Europe. Mr. Norene became aware of this sentiment yesterday when he received a letter,
originating in Brazil, Ind., which
had been forwarded to him by Governor Martin.
The letter, over the signature of
Frank Neunier, recording secretary, local No. 42, Workers Alliance
of Indiana, and addressed to Governor Martin, read as follows:
"Local No. 42 of the Workers Alliance of America in meeting assembled have instructed me to send
you their protest to the steps that
are being taken to deport one Roy
Norene back to Europe and as recording secretary I am pleased to
advice you that I was instructed to
ask you to do what you can in your
capacity as governor of the great
state of Oregon to prevent an injustice being done on this Roy
Norene. Thanking you in advance
for any favors shown this man."
Mr. Norene expressed the opinion
that the Indiana group had intended to intercede in behalf of another
individual. Or, he said, it might be
a joke.
